#51 I’ve Gotta Be Me (Sammy Davis Jr.) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Whether I’m right or whether I’m wrong
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong
I gotta be me, I’ve gotta be me
What else can I be but what I am🪄
I want to live, not merely survive
And I won’t give up this dream
Of life that keeps me alive
I gotta be me, I gotta be me
The dream that I see makes me what I am🪄
That far away prize, a world of success
Is waiting for me if I heed the call
I won’t settle down, won’t settle for less
As long as there’s a chance that I can have it all🪄
I’ll go it alone, that’s how it must be
I can’t be right for somebody else
If I’m not right for me
I gotta be free, I’ve gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I’ve gotta be me🪄
I’ll go it alone, that’s how it must be
I can’t be right for somebody else
If I’m not right for me
I gotta be free, I just gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I gotta be me

Ask, Ask, Ask

“Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.”

Matthew 7:7

“I have recently discovered something that’s brought a sense of adventure to my daily round. It’s so simple, it’s scary. It’s asking for what we want. Help. Advice. Wisdom. Guidance. Information–especially information.”

“We don’t ask because we’re afraid somebody will say ‘no.’ But when wishful thinking doesn’t magically manifest what we want, we feel we’ve been denied. So, in future, we choose not to ask, but continue to wish, existing in a constant state of deprivation.”

“Ask for what you need and want. Ask to be taught the right questions. Ask to be answered. Ask for the Divine Plan of your life to unfold though joy. Ask politely. Ask with passion. Ask with a grateful heart and you will be heard. Just ask.”

“I am learning to exercise this muscle more. I am learning to not be attached to the answer as I build this muscle. Instead, I am just asking for what I need and want so that the ask itself gets easier.”

–Ban Breathnach, Sarah. “Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy”. Grand Central Publishing. (1976). Kindle Page 192 to 193 of 501.
